Start the Day on First Fridays with Bishop Paul and Sarah (160) – 6th October 2023
In a Start the Day message on the first Friday in October, Bishop Paul and Sarah speak about how to replace fear with love through prayer. They quote Corrie ten Boom: ‘Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a centre of fear.’ Also the words of an old hymn: ‘How sweet the name of Jesus sounds…he soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds, and drives away our fears.’
